House of Dub VW Club meet

This month's House of Dub Club meet saw us return to the Hare and Hounds pub in Ledburn, Leighton Buzzard, LU7 0QB and after a few months away and with new owners in charge it felt like the club had gone home to the place the club meet should be. It was a chilly, misty evening but the die-hard members were not going to let the weather put them off going to the club meet. I'll apologise now for the poor colour quality of some of the photo's, although my camera takes good quality pictures in daylight, it doesn't have the best flash in the world.!

I arrived at the club meet quite early in theevening but there were already some othermembers there including Ben who came in his super cool looking Caddy.

This really is a sweet looking pick up.

Talking to Ben throughout the evening, hementioned that he was thinking about replacing the stock diesel motor with a turbo diesel lump. Should provide a bit morepower.

This Caddy really does look good from everyangle.

Tony was also there in his super clean 2.0ltrpowered T25. Tony won 'best T25' at theHOD open day show and shine.

Tony's T25 from the rear. Really poorcolour quality on this picture.

Likewise for this photo of the front of Tony'strophy winning T25.

Spike and Zoe, the proprietors of the Houseof Dub / HOD Imports were also parked upby the time I arrived.

Spikes Audi powered T25.

A better photo of Zoe's Beetle showing the true colour, complete with decal's.

Being the 'boss' of the House of Dub, youhave to advertise your company.. right?

Alden arrived a bit later in his bright red and black early bay, no mistaking this bay!

Alden's bay from the front. I do like the sun visor.

My bay, parked up and looking a bit lonely,but not for long...

As Amanda and her partner turned up shortlyafter me in their T4, complete with red flashinglight in the grill which looked good.

The bonnet of Amanda's T4 had a prettycool paint job.

My bay parked up in the car park.

Alix and Claire also arrived in their cherishedT25 'Betty Rose'.

Very nice looking T25 with the pub in the background.

Matt & Caroline came over a bit later in the evening in their early bay.

'Bod' turned up in his immaculate lime greenT5. This is one nice bus and I'm notjealous at all...

'Bod's T5 with the super low profile tyres.

Bod's T5 and Alden's bay parked up.

I spotted this very clean Golf parked up, butunfortunately I don't know who it belongs to.

Ash and the girls arrived much later in the evening in his T4 (at the rear) the T4 inthe foreground belonged to a couple who I believe it was their first visit to the club meet.Hopefully we'll see them again.That was the October HoD club meet,back at the Hare and Hounds where I think it should be. It was a really enjoyableevening, with good friends and qualityvehicles.
